I have a co-worker (who is probably a size 2) that seems to love "monitering" me. The boss had ordered pizza and ice cream for the team as a reward but I had budgeted for it. This lady offered me the largest piece in the box and said "Here this will go with that big sandwich you ate last week, since you've already…

My turn :) Before. At my heaviest ever. my 'during", a little over half way to my goal :)

I'd love to be at 170 by Christmas but thats 40 lbs away. Hopefully I will at least be close :)

I work on a "team" where I am one of the only women along about 38 men. It is funny/strange to me to watch them trying to compliment or comment on my loss without getting a trip up to HR in our "politicly correct" environment :) Strangely motivating and makes me smile everytime :laugh:

It's definitely a self image thing, a complete mental battle.

I started out having 100 to lose, I still have 55 to go! Also, I'm always open to new friends. I'm on everyday!

My new inspiration ^^

I love pinterest and use it for motivation too! http://pinterest.com/tpersall/

I had thought about getting one of those or a fitbit. I generally don't eat all my exercide calories back anyway. I am having awesome toning result with zumba too :)

I don't know what the right way is but I have been losing very slowly. I have been actively trying for almost a year and am at 31 lbs lost. I have donE quick weight loss before and seem to gain it back easier when I go that route.

I do zumba all the time and ended up looking it up on google. I think I found a website called Zumbacalories.com. then created it as an exercide here. I have heard that that site overestimates calories burned a little.

Feel free to add me as well. Been doing this since january :)

I try!

I don't really think I need to involve HR, I think I can enjoy a little while still staying in range. My co-workers and boss just want me to be a part of "the family" I don't think they want to hurt me :) I work 12 hours shifts so I usually space out my calories in very small meals through out the day to keep my energy up…

I love I started with the wii version then finally ordered the dvd's. I havent gotten the nerve to attend a regular class yet. I feel like I am not losing weight as quickly but I am toning up and slimming down. I went shopping and was able to buy clothes 2 sizes smaller. Totally worth it!

Be careful with what you take. I took phentermine for about 2 years and when I quit (because I lost my job and didnt have the $$$) I gained it all back plus some. Also I ended up having "heart irregularities". They turned out to be nothing major but I will never mess with that stuff again. Good Luck!

I have both, I like the second one better. There is more customization and options :)
